Map Predicts Viral Infection Outcome (1 of 2) (IMAGE)
Caption
In situ tetramer-hybridization captured image of virus-specific immune effector cells and their infected cell targets in a lymph node. View of a SIV-infected lymph node with red-SIV specific immune effector cells-cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)- and blue-stained SIV-infected cells and virion collections deposited in a lymphoid follicle. The box encloses a CTL interacting with an infected cell. This image relates to an article that appeared in the March 27, 2009, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Qingsheng Li of the University of Minnesota, and colleagues was titled, "Visualizing Antigen-Specific and Infected Cells in Situ Predicts Outcomes in Early Viral Infection."
